Do you need a second bladder surgery after a negative urine test?
This study looks at whether a second bladder surgery is still needed for people with high-risk bladder cancer who had a negative urine test after their first surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04104945Recruiting
Trial to reduce radiation fields in p16+ oropharyngeal cancer
This study tests whether shrinking the “planned radiation area” (elective treatment volumes) can still treat p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer effectively. It may help reduce unnecessary radiation to nearby healthy tissues while keeping the cancer treatment curative.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06292897Recruiting
Obesity and prostate cancer tissue study
This study looks at how obesity might affect prostate cancer growth. It uses tissue samples to understand the role of certain metabolites in the tumor, which could lead to better treatments.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04597294RecruitingPhase 3
Preventive pre-op HIPEC for advanced stomach cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding a heated chemotherapy procedure during surgery (HIPEC) before the main cancer treatment can lower the chance that stomach cancer returns in the belly. It is for people with advanced stomach cancer who are at higher risk of cancer coming back in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdomen).
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodshipAges 18–75 - NCT05085028RecruitingPhase 3
Lower-dose pembrolizumab for lung cancer after 6 months
This trial studies whether giving pembrolizumab less often can work just as well for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after you’ve already had 6 months of treatment and are still benefiting. It may help reduce how often you need treatment while keeping cancer control.
BournemouthAges 18 years+ - NCT05116475RecruitingPhase 3
New prostate cancer trial adding darolutamide to standard treatment
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard hormone therapy and radiation works better than standard treatment alone for newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to pelvic lymph nodes. If you qualify, you may receive darolutamide or a placebo alongside long-term hormone therapy and radiation.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18–120 - NCT04455282Recruiting
Blood test-guided surgery for gastroesophageal cancer
This trial studies blood-based biomarkers to help doctors choose the best individualized surgical treatment for gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. If you qualify, you’ll get standard care plus additional testing to see whether the blood results can guide surgery more precisely.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05975749RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab, serplulimab, and chemo after stomach cancer surgery
This Phase 2 study looks at whether adding serplulimab to trastuzumab and chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of stomach cancer coming back. It is for people with HER2-positive stage II–III stomach adenocarcinoma who have already had curative surgery with lymph node removal.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–80 - NCT06598046RecruitingPhase 2
Utidelone and Capecitabine for triple-negative breast cancer brain metastases
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (Utidelone and Capecitabine) for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink or control the brain tumors.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06305832RecruitingPhase 2
Salvage radiation plus hormone therapy with or without rezvilutamide for rising PSA
This trial tests whether adding a new oral hormone blocker (rezvilutamide) to standard salvage radiation and hormone therapy can better control prostate cancer that has come back (rising PSA) after surgery.
